Use

In this section, you can define the selection variants for choosing work instructions.

In doing so, you can proceed as follows:

  1. You define your selection variants.
  2. You assign one of the following display variants to your selection variants:
    • Standard display variants
    • Self-defined display variants
      You must previously have created display variants in the list overview of the worklist.

When defining your own selection variants, you are advised to use the standard selection variants as copying templates.

Selection variants predefined by SAP with the associated display variants are available for each of the following four transactions:

Transaction    Selection variant    Display variant

Find Work Instructions    SAP&PI_SEARCH    0PI_SEARCH

Process Worklist    SAP&PI_WL_WRK    0PI_WL_WRK

Check Worklist    SAP&PI_WL_CHK    0PI_WL_CHK

Complete/Close Worklist    SAP&PI_WL_CLS    0PI_WL_CLS

For more information as to the criteria covered by the standard selection variants and standard display variants, refer to the SAP Library under Logistics -> Production Planning and Control -> Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) -> PP - Production Planning - Process Industries -> Process Management -> PI Sheets -> Worklist for PI Sheets.
